Abstract
There is a high recognition of the fact that psychosocial interventions make an essential contribution in dementia care. However, the evidence for specific psychosocial interventions are mixed and limited yet. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis of the relevant literature, to investigate the effectiveness of psychosocial interventions focused on improvements in cognition, behavior, mood and quality of life. To select the 10 studies included in the meta-analysis, we conducted an extensive search in the following databases: MEDLINE, PsychINFO, EBSCO, WEB OF SCIENCE. The results we obtained show that psychosocial interventions in dementia for cognitive abilities are effective, even if the effect size is low.
